Two of my favorite topics here... Gays and Batman! Not that that's anything new. But this column gives a pretty good summary and reading of the whole situation. It's all you ever needed to know about whether or not Batman is gay, which turns out to not be very much at all.

In addition, for some reason the same column features a second section devoted to year in review. An interesting take for sure, although in listing comics that have ended this year (Bone, Cerebus, Black Hole) he neglects to mention Avengers. Though I guess in a few years they'll just start giving New Avengers that wierd extra grey number, like FF, and pretend the whole thing never happened.

Anyway, I'm going to spoil the end, because it's funny and you'll read the whole thing now: "then I think there's one hope left for comics, and that's legalising hemp, thus making paper cheap enough that comics can finally be competitively priced.

Bookstores didn't work. Let's try cannabis!"
